Hi all: I would like to know if either MarsEdit, Ecto, ScribFire (Firefox add-on) or any other on line or off line Blog Editor supports SSL connections to its destination Web Blog Server, so passwords for such services won’t be transmitted in the clear, as well as to provide a Full Encrypted connection from the moment I login to the moment I log-off. I am also wondering which Blog Services support full SSL sessions. Thanks for your time.

I absolutely love Mars Edit. I’ve been using it for a few days. I used to go directly to WordPress. I don’t know why it took me so long to switch. I have numerous blogs, and this significantly cuts down my blogging time.

The only thing I’m missing in Mars edit is the capacity to have a thumbnail automatically created when I upload a picture. It’s not a big deal but it’s why I still prefer Ecto….

@Kevin – That’s correct. There are a few hidden features under that Post menu, it seems. It’s one of my favorite apps too!

I tried out MarsEdit and really wasn’t that impressed. However, for a more “mac” feel in a blog editor you might want to check out Ecto.

@hongkiat – If you are using Wordpress you can schedule your entries with MarsEdit. Just click post (I think, I’m not at my Mac right now) in the menu bar and then click edit date. Post your entry as usual and once the date/time comes around your entry will show up. I use this feature often actually.

MarsEdit is one of my absolute favorite applications on the Mac.

Just like Van Lam, I’d love to see a comparison with Ecto. I’ve been pondering buying one or the other for a while. I’ve been leaning towards MarsEdit, mainly because it’s part of the Mac Santa promotion so you can get 10% off, but I’d really like to see a side by side with Ecto first.

@hongkiat That is a feature of the blogging platform. Wordpress allows you to do this of course, and you can just change the time stamp on the post, for when you want it to be published.

marsedit is no doubt a very cool desktop blogging tool, but there is something missing or I’ve not yet to find out where its at.

Can marsedit 2 schedule blog entry? that means I write an entry now but want to have it appear the next day or so.

Maybe we could do a blogging software comparison? I’d like to know how Marsedit compares with Ecto and the like.

I love MarsEdit 2. My favorite new feature is Flickr integration.
